Cyril R Salter creams - inner bowl comes loose, when I tighten the lid.

[CHSeifert]

Has anyone else got this problem with the Cyril R Salter shaving creams ?

I know the AOS creams have the same inner bowl, but all my 4 AOS creams seem very solidly made, but first time I tightened my Wild Rose cream from Cyril R Salter, the inner bowl came loose and now I can't tighten it without having the inner part coming loose.
Quite annoying, but not a huge problem - but enough of a problem, that I will not buy any more creams from this company probably..........not a quality sign IMHO

The Wild Rose cream is a marvelous cream though, but irritating that I can't tighten it without standing with the white inner bowl and lid in my right hand and the bottom blue container in my left hand....

Anyone having the same kind of problem with this cream ?

Yes. A bit irritating, but probably not a deal breaker. That said, I've moved almost exclusively to soaps, and LOML prefers TOBS.

It happened to one of mine after I dropped it on the floor. I will still most likely always have some in my den though, I must admit the product is more imortant to me than the packaging.

This.

It's not as if they're charging you a penny for the container a la AdP, Pen's BB or C&E Nomad. It's just an ol' plastic container with a LOT of product, and if the cream performs as good as ppl say it does, the container is trivial.

If you mean the inner translucent plastic bowl spins around inside the outer then I get that problem with every make of cream I own, Trumpers, TOBS, Salter, all of them. I can live with it.

I did not have this problem with any of my 4 Salter tubs. There are a couple I wouldn't buy again because of the scent, but (for me) their performance tops the other more expensive English creams.

Same problem for me. I ended up moving it into an old TOBS tub. Sub par packaging. Slippery to open also - I like the nubs on the TOBS and Trumpers lids.

I've not had that problem with my Salter's tubs. However I was going to post a new Salter's related thread and thought I'd just hi-jack (er, uhmm, tack on to) this one. I have a tub of the Almond Salter's and it's hands down one of the top performers I've got, and also smelled lovely amaretto. I say "smelled" and not "smells" because it seems all the sudden all the fragrance has up and disappeared. I'll admit that I'm a brush swirler and not a digger of snurdles or dollops. Any chance that loading my brush by swirling in the tub would have some fragrance diminishing affect as opposed to digging out a snurdle? Anybody else have fragrance-loss issues with Salters?
